will hydrochloric acid unclog a drain pipe for my sink.?

Answer 1

It might, but it will also eat holes in your plumbing if you have any metal pipes anywhere. If that happens you will have sewage spilling out into you subfloor or crawl space and be looking at hundreds of dollars to re-plumb the house.

Don't use acids for removing blockages, use bases. Buy some caustic soda from the local hardware store and use that.

Answer 2

It might, but it could also react with whatever material is clogging the pipe, or even the pipe itself. I would head to a grocery store and pick up a bottle of Drano.

Answer 3

If its clogged by something the it can dissolve. I'd hold it reserve as a last resort though. Try some normal drain openers and plunging first.

Answer 4

No, i in basic terms sparkling mine manually. on occasion I even have used a plunger or an auger. on occasion I actually are starting to be rid of the p-catch. on occasion in the bathing room sink I might desire to take the pop-up stopper out and sparkling off each and all of the nasty scumy hairballs that have twisted up on it. It relies upon on the place i think of the clog is.
